The Queen is Coming

The former White House budget analyst turned best-selling cookbook author, Emmy + James Beard Award winner, former mentee of Martha Stewart ("The Empress") + Eli Zabar and maven of all things Hamptons fabulous is coming to a town near you. I can almost smell the Atlantic ocean water, the French faire, the hydrangeas and the food finds from Loaves & Fishes. Yes, I am talking Ina Garten a.k.a. The Barefoot Contessa!

Ina will be giving talks and signing her latest book Make it Ahead courtesy of a tour in association with Williams-Sonoma. Tickets are available at a very premium royal price.

The icing on the cake would be to get a glance at her and her husband Jeffrey, that is if he will be able to pull himself away from his post at Yale to attend. If he can't make I bet we can count on one of her fabulous friends to be in tow.
